Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

I'm gonna say, it's rich hearing from Soniggers saying "it's just the same game again but for 70 dollars" when they were slobbering all over Kratos' cock a couple of months ago.

That isn't just rich, it's Scrooge McDuck-ian levels of "are you fucking kidding me?". At least ToTK is just BOTW again, not "the original, but worse in every regard".

Hey now, I shit on Sony far more than Nintendo.

But I call it like I see it. What they've shown of TOTK seems lame.

Could they completely surprise me with way better side quests and actual dungeons or something? I guess...but I'm not holding my breath or saving 70 dollars for release to find out.

Sure, I absolutely see where you are coming from with it. I am convinced dungeons will be back, everything we've seen in the trailers points to some sort of dungeons happening.

Not going to lie the artstyle looks worse than I remembered, not sure if they changed it or if I'm used to Cemu with the contrast fix to actually show details, but it looks way too blown out. Can't tell from the video compression, but when he goes to the sky island with the grass and trees it looks like the resolution tanks hard.

It's not just you, those graphics look bad. I hate to be a graphics diva, but even trying to look past the video compression, it looks worse than Super Mario Sunshine on original hardware. That yellow sky island with the yellow trees and shit assault your eyes with light, and even Link's hair blends in.

Game still looks fun enough as DLC, and I'd totally wait for it to hit $30 before buying IF NINTENDO GAMES EVER FUCKING PRICE DROPPED thank goodness for piracy

Booted up BoTW on Cemu (I forgot how awful the voice acting is). I set the resolution to 900p like the Switch version. Left is default post processing, right is with the clarity preset 'Hexaae's Clear Preset'. I'm not a big fan of how dark it makes it, might make a custom preset, but it modifies the game's post processing. Look how much detail is missing on the left because its hidden behind the blown out colours. You can't see it in this screenshot, but with the clarity graphics pack you can actually see wind effects in the air, which is pretty much invisible by default.

The preview video looked even more blown out than the default in BoTW though, I don't know if that's some bloom thing they changed or what, but it just looks bad.

Based on the art book leak, it seems the entire game has a washed out yellow/green look. They replaced the neon blue with it, but turned EVERYTHING yellow/green.

I am more positive on the game, but I will agree with the graphics. I don’t think the designs look bad, but the color pallet is terrible in the sky kingdom. The trees are white and the ground is bright yellow. There is little contrast, so it looks rough. I think they are trying to go for an autumn or savannah look, which were both pretty underutilized biomes in BOTW (Akkala had Autumn, and the lake had less than a third dedicated to Savannah). Either way, both areas had better color contrasting. The sky really needs some more reds and dark oranges to make it look better. Trees should have been brown, or at least darken the grass and trees.

This is what it should look like:

Let me just put an asterisk on it, then. *Does not include re-releases on different consoles. There we go, that will keep me safe.

You'd be right to keep yourself safe though instead of saying you'd eat your hat.

I don't reckon TOTK will do badly at any rate, though releasing much later in the lifetime of the switch won't help.

I'm still at risk of "Drake" having a slot to plug Switch games in, but at that point surely people will start wirh the universally beloved (sorry, SSJ Ness) and, importantly, much cheaper, first game in the series rather than its direct sequel.

That's still a pretty hard gamble to make considering the track records from last year in Japan, with Splatoon 3 for instance which is about to surpass 2's lifetime retail sales (4 million) in a mere few weeks away, and it's not one year old yet. Even if it was largely the same game as its predecessor, in a similar fashion of Tears of Kingdom.

Also the competition from the Playstation brand was a lot more fierce in 2017 compared to its laughable state nowadays. Doesn't help that they can just have a Switch and be confident to get virtually all the third-parties in it (in addition to Nintendo's own offerings), hence the massive userbase gathering all kinds of audiences now.

Edit: I would add that the recent introduction of fusion/crafting & screwing around with physics is gonna make Tears of Kingdom more popular than ever in the nippon market.

I regards to Splatoon, specifically, 2 actually had a lot of problems to deal with that held it back. Early on it had to fight a strong (and not entirely untrue) perception that it was just a remaster of Splatoon 1 with most of the content stripped out (popular stuff like Salmon Run and a lot of the new weapons only got added weeks or months later.) And then the rollout of NSO really stabbed it in the back, especially in the early days it killed matchmaking due to how many people had refused to buy it. Also, as a multiplayer-centric shooter with generic player avatars its not like people really care about plot continuity. I think a more apt case will be OoT vs MM. Which is the better game? Either is an acceptable answer but sales-wise there was just no way for MM to compete.

It is extraordinarily retarded that it is so difficult to buy a fifty dollar bluetooth Nintendo 64 controller that it takes years of waiting. I am so glad I kicked Nintendo consooming to the curb ages ago.

Even though I agree, I still want one. Their Super Nintendo controller is pretty good.

Looks like they're gone now.

I'd like one too, but not nearly enough to go through the whole niggamarole of checking hundreds of times for months on end and shitting my pants when I finally see "Add to Cart", only for the very likely event of getting cucked to potentially happen.

I would have bought a NES Classic Edition day one if I could have, but by the time you could just buy them off the shelf at Walmart, I didn't care anymore. Nintendo's artificial scarcity puts me off enough to never want to bother with this shit ever again.

The expansion of the Internet and Nerd Culture™ made a lot of this shit frustrating. Club Nintendo used to be really neat before email alerts and automated purchasing ruined everything. The My Nintendo service is alright and it does have some neat exclusives, but even then you have to fight scalpers and the prizes aren't nearly as good as they used to be. There used to be vinyl statues and books and poster sets. You could get decks of Hanafuda cards and limited run soundtracks and dioramas.

With that said, Nintendo definitely leans into artificial scarcity to too great a degree. I dislike it and it pisses me off to see pages of eBay listing of My Nintendo rewards marked up to ridiculous prices that never fucking sell. It also doesn't help that Nintendo always restocks this shit on a fucking Wednesday at 9AM when normal people are at work.
